Play off gate receipts - what's happened to the money

Wed Jun 09, 2010 7:54 pm

Apologies if this has been posted before but what's happened to the money from the play offs.

My understanding was the losers got all the gate receipts from the final and bearing in mind the ticket prices, that must be close to, or in excess of, £4million. Plus money from Sky and the gate receipts from the semi final.

Surely that should go some way to sorting out our short term cash flow on the basis we'll get very little through gate receipts as so many season tickets have been sold.

Anyone have an insight on where this money has gone?

no it was only half gate monies, half goes to the f.a and the other half was due to be split with both cardiff and blackpool but both clubs agreed that the loser should get the cash, think its around 1.5 mil
